CHAPTER V1Il.-AlPHONSE EXPLAINS
AND so the fight was ended. On turning
from this shocking scene, it suddenly
struck me that had seen nothing OF Al

minutes before-for though this fight has
taken long while to decribe, it did not
take long in reaGty-when [ had been

in the battle, began to hunt about among
the dead for his body; but not being able
either to see or hear anything of it, | con-
Guided that he must have survived, and |
walked down the side Of the lraal where
we had first taken our stand, calling him
by name. Now some fifteen PAGES back
from the kraai wall stood a very ancient
tree Of the banyan species So ancient was
it, that all the inside had in the course OF
ages decayed away, leaving nothing but a
shell of bark.

The body was in the midst of thicket
of young trees, which probably ac-
counts for its being overlooked for so
long a time There being no clew as
to the identity of the remains the
bones were inferred by the fishermen

to the top of the well. The rope broke
and the mule again went to the other
end of the well. A second attempt
was successful. He leaped to his feet
and commenced feeding on grass as

A Silent Bell.

Something very, very sad happened
near the corner of Monroe avenue and
Randolph street yesterday. A very
meaty man had met three friends at
that point and stopped to tell couple
of stories. A young man, who was a
stranger to all, was leaning against the
front of store, bearing the general
appearance of one who knew all that
was worth knowing before he cut his
baby teeth, and was now hanging onto
life because death refused to come.
Pretty soon the meaty man got off
some pun, and the hand of the weary
young man was lifted up and the tones
of his chestnut bell rang out on the
morning air.
"Was that you?" asked the story
teller as he wheeled around.
"Yaas"
''Did 1 get off something old?''
every old"
BEG your pardon. sir. l will now
get off something entirely new for your
benefit"
He seized the weary traveller, whirled
him around, and stout calf-skn boot
was planted against him four times in
succession.
IF there's anything old about that
just ring two bells on me-" said the
kicker as he ceased his labors.
1t must have been a new thing.
The young man had tears in his eyes
as he steered himself around the near
est corner, and the sharpest ears
caught no melody from his little bell.

A Solid CITY.

Berlin is solid city, for the Berlin
character is deep and substantial. It's
solidity is more manifest than its good
taste, though this is by no means al
ways lacking. Since Germany has en-
deavored to compete with France in
the markets of the world she has at
tempted to initiate French goods, even
those into which art largely enters, but
with imperfect success. German cloths
are not equal to those of either France,
England or Belgium. German hosiery
is invariably poor. German jewelry is
honest, but not as tasteful as that made
in Paris or New York and San Fran
cisco. So with the infinite category of
fancy goods. A shop window on the
Inter den Linden does not compare
favorably with one on the Paris boule-
wards, either in respect to quality of
goods, elegance of pattern, or taste of
arrangement Whether it is suit of
clothes, night shirt, a necktie, or a
set of toilet articles, the want of skill
in making and of taste in designing is
seen at glance. On the other hand
there is no apparent effort to make a
thing seem better than it is. On this
point the purchaser is rarely deceived

poise.'
"What are favorite sticks?'
''Blackthorn, snakewood, malacca,
ebony, oak and ash, with ivory, silver
or bronze heads. Young men use slend-
Ell, flexible steel canes, unless they are
pedestrians. Then they carry walk
ing stick or alpenstock.
Here are some of the fashionable
knobs" continued Mr.. Lindgeman.

care canes as much used as ever?"
"They are indispensable. A man
cannot walk with his hands in his pock-
cts, nor carry them swinging at his
side, when he is out at his leisure.
Canes are not used during business

the street of an afternoon and you will

gentlemen are very fond of theirs.
Some of them bring singular sticks here
to be made up--one from the branch
of an apple tree that grew near his
childhood's home, another Dough from
some great mans grave. 1t used to be
a common fashion to bring sticks from
foreign trees, but that was when a
stick was more staff than it is now.

old knotted cane is always highly val

4 Sweet and Gracious Actress.

OF good deed in naughty world,
done by an actress and without an
aye to the effect as an advertisement,
The Graphic "Chaterer" says: "a la
dy who is lady in the best and finest
sense of the word, has been in the
slough of despond and privatIon for
ore than O. year. She is devoted to
/ dramatic art, and her mind and
TT were literally starving. She
wrote to u famous actress, saying she
was i'll, and could not afford the lux
ury of seeing her unless a ticket were
given her. In response to her brief
note came II charming one from the
busy, beautiful actress, enclosing the
best seats in the house and accom-
panyinga basket of fruit which might
have grown in the garden of Eden
when the world was new, SO fresh, SO
beautiful was it. And when this
actress assumed another role
came more tickets and both fruits
and flowers to the invalid. Isn't that
as sweet and gracious an act as you
have heard of In % long time? | would
like to tell you the name Of this love
ly actress who is so womanly and
thoughtful, but then you would think
it was "puff, perhaps was even paid
for Gin advance" that would
take the bloom off this little idyl."

Homes for the Homeless.

The cooperative system naugurateds sew
en- years ago by the publishers of the OMAHA
WEEKLY BEE, whereby the patrons OF that
paper share directly in the income from ad'
vertisiug, has been a marked success. Last
year The Bee Publishing Company divided
among its subscribers, real estate, machIn-
cry, implements, musical instruments,
silverware, clothing books and other
q rticles, valued in the aggregate $43,-
1900. These premiums were for the
most part paid for in advertising,
which, owing to the extensive circu-
alton OF the paper, had become SO valu-
able as to command three dollars per inch
for each insertion. Three farms, covering
in all 200 acres-S0 acres in Kansas, 80
acres in Iowa and 40 acres in Nebraska
procured in trade from the j. |. Case
Threshing Machine Company, OF Racine,
Wisconsin, were among last years premi-
ums to patrons OF the WEEKLY BEE.
This year, the Bees premium list excels
all it's previous efforts. Three good farms,
each 80 acres, located respectively in
Woodbury. county, Iowa, and Howard
and Hall counties, in Nebraska, are on the
list. The most valuable among these is
the small county farm, with house, well
and other improvements. This farm is
near Grand Island, q rapidly growing
city of over 1000 population. There
are also among this years's premiums, a
Minnesota Chief Threshing Machine, with
horse power complete, several harvesters,
20 tanning mills. IL plows and many other
farm implements; gold and 40 silver
watches, from the Waltham and Elgin fac
tories; grand piano, parlor organs, IS
sewing machines and thousands OF other
articles, aggregating in all $45, $500. Ev-

at retail at least $1.0O.

Nervous Dyspeptics.

Said medical friend to me to-day:
'"There is large number of people
who, on account of their physical
makeup, ought always to be regarded
a separate class, and almost a separate
race, so different are they in all that
pertains to health, pleasure and happi-
ness. They are what are called by
physicians the nervous dyspeptics.
They are distinguished by fine nerv
Gus organ zation which renders them
extremely sensitive to pain or pleasure,
in body and in mind. Their skin is
thin, their flesh tender and their men
tai feelings are easily panied. Their
feelings interrupt digestion, and they
are certain to become dyspeptics.
They easily become subject to melan-
choly and insomnia. But there is no
finer class of humanity than these
same people, if they only understand
their temperament and live wisely with
reference to it. They must not touch
whisky, wine or beer. They must be
very sparing in the use of tea and cof-
fee, shellfish, raw fruits and meat.
They must be very regular in their
habits of eating and sleeping. They
must take exercise IN the open air. and
avoid close air at all times; and they
need a frequent change of air, diet and
scene. They have not much stamina
or endurance, but what there is in
them is of good quality. They are
bright ingenious, artistic, intellectual
and refined. They are like a fine
watch-very easily put out of order,
but all right if taken good care of.
They are generally greatly misunder.

BE EARNEST.

They tell me thai mid Alpine snow,
And rock, and avalanche, and storm,
Some sowers in regal splendor grow,
BeautiOus alike in hue and form.
That, IN old oceans depths profound,
Where undiSturbed the waters lie,
Are finer forms and flowers found,
Than ever greet the common eye.
That in the deepest, darkest mine
Is found the richest, parest gem
That e'er on regal breast did shine,
Or sparkle IN Il diadem.
From these learn this single truth:
IT'S ssut the thoughtless, needless throng
who nnd earth'S richest joys forsooth
Or live her grandest scenes among,
But rather they who seek with care,
In earnest action word and thought,
Aud find them only when and where
